I've listened to you every night for years and have always given you a thumbs up but never commented. This month I feel like I'm listening to something new every night. Thank you Santa Ian. I look forward to listening to your voice lulling me to sleep with wonderful stories for years to come. ♥️

We are definitely being spoiled this Christmas with all this great stuff ! It's going to take me a while to get through it all mind you. Which is perfect, at this time of year. Nothing like sitting all cosy and warm listening to a bit of HorrorBabble !

A terrifying bivalve flaps mindlessly beneath the sunlit surface of the waters, kind of drifting randomly and striking terror into the heart of anyone who's seen how many eyes a scallop truly has

[Shacthulhu]

I can’t believe my fine fortune of late. Thank you HB!

[christianjohansson]

These were very well written. Thank you Ian, and of course the author!

[GamingMediocrity]

Thanks for another year of spooky bedtime stories. Merry Christmas to you & yours. Wrote this while sipping from an official HB mug. 👍

[tamlandipper]

I really enjoyed these. The tempo is excellent, as is the mettle of the protagonists.

[willibeaa]

[nanphx]

Croatian has been one of my favorites since it came out, and really everything by this author has been gold. Great collection!

[Wombats]

Oooh Eridu! I've been listening to Fall of Civilizations about Sumerians, etc. you don't need Conan stories to make up funky old ruins we are driving past them all over Iraq :) Loved the start of Midnight Mass doing something similar

[EricDaMAJ]

Warren is indeed dead. But he passed away peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming, wailing and carrying on in a panic like his passengers.

[mildredchester]
